Neha Narkhede commented on KAFKA-244: ------------------------------------- Thanks for getting started on this. I have a couple of requests - 1. Could you please upload a patch to this JIRA and grant it to Apache ? 2. This patch doesn't apply cleanly to trunk, would you mind updating a patch that would ? It will make it much easier for us to review it. Also, when you said the zk connect option hangs, did you get a chance to take a look at the debug/trace logs to see where it hangs ? Do you mind uploading those log files here ? > Improve log4j appender to use kafka.producer.Producer, and support > zk.connect|broker.list options > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-244 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-244 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: clients > Affects Versions: 0.7.1 > Reporter: Stefano Santoro > Labels: log4j, newbie > Fix For: 0.7.1 > > > Taken from #kafka IRC session with Neha Narkhede: > The log4j appender is quite obsolete, there are a few things to change there. > Make it use the kafka.producer.Producer instead of SyncProducer. That allows > you to use either the broker.list or the zk.connect option -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
